Article from Newsmax:4. Muslim Dutch Mayor Tells Islamists: Pack Your Bags Following the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, the Muslim mayor of the Netherlands second-largest city used an expletive in telling Muslim immigrants who dont appreciate Western values to pack up and go elsewhere. Ahmed Aboutaleb, who became mayor of Rotterdam in January 2009, appeared on television hours after the Paris shootings and said Muslims who do not like freedom can pack your bags and leave.” It is incomprehensible that you can turn against freedom. Referring to the Islamic terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine, he said: If you do not like it here because some humorists you dont like are making a newspaper, may I then say you can [expletive] off. This is stupid, this is so incomprehensible. Vanish from the Netherlands if you cannot find your place here. All those well-meaning Muslims here will now be stared at. Aboutaleb, the son of an imam, was born in Morocco and moved to the Netherlands in 1976. He is the first immigrant to become the mayor of a major Dutch city, the Telegraph reported. Shortly after he was appointed mayor — mayors are not elected in the Netherlands — he said his message to immigrants is to stop seeing yourself as victims, and if you dont want to integrate, leave. Rotterdams population of more than 610,000 includes about 80,000 Muslims, 13 percent of the total, according to a 2010 count. London Mayor Boris Johnson recently wrote in the Telegraph about Aboutaleb: This is the voice of the Enlightenment, of Voltaire. If we are going to win the struggle for the minds of these young people, then that is the kind of voice we need to hear — and it needs above all to be a Muslim voice.
